Web addiction and brain change

It is exactly this "lust" for knowledge that resulted in you being able to send your message from the comfort of your four walls to a server a few thousand km away and let others around the globe read it.

If "web-addiction" isn't bad enough now... just wait until humans are all fitted with cranial Wi-Max and Bluetooth type neural interfaces, just imagine the difficulty in remembering your public and private keys and your future WPA-PSKv355 xx thousand bit login details...

Well, somewhere on this forum there is a thread about devices (computer, etc.) being controlled by our brain waves.
Could perhaps be turned around somehow, i was thinking. Or? Imagine then someone stealing your password

I'm afraid mans understanding of the human brain remains extremely primitive...

I wouldn't let any studies worry me too much personally, we are still in the dark ages in this respect!

That is true. A long time ago i often had discussions about that with a geologist friend of mine. He thought we would know soon how the brain functions. My philosophical counter was how you could understand the brain by using that same brain. But who knows.

It seems we are doing this not only by looking inside our own brains but also by looking at the brains of other species which do seem to have much in common with us. It is an interesting thought that how could we ever know the true nature of the material world when that is all we have to inspect it with - the smallest particles I mean and the current LHC research.

Not only childish but also very dumb remarks.

get some humor ,not even being serious ....... what a grinch

Even as a "joke" the postings of both of you can hardly be called humorous, let alone adding anything worthwhile to this discussion.

There is alot of junk on the internet. Without even noticing I've killed (2) hours on YouTube alone, multiple that with information and other interests and, well 12 hours can be gone in a flash, factor in if you play online games and, well you do the math. Why people need TV I'll never know when I can find the news of the day four times over, at a cost of close to $100.00 US (including POTS) when my lousy Internet offer expires and with my current financial situation I have chosen my internet over food, how much can I really eat, besides I can go to the store and pick up some crap food and down it I'll take on 4000 calories easy, if I choose food over the internet it would work out the same anyhow, and if I can't have both then I'm not online, on I'd be on the street cussing someone off about politics or something to do with technology, or the world telling them I want some change for a damn meal.
